  • Many of the jobs that were once in Rochester are now in China. And we wonder why we are in a recession and China is the fastest growing economy in the world.

  • Another American company, with dedicated employees, whose managment got complacent and sloppy. Sears, IBM, Wards, any of the big three automakers, Earthlink -- the list goes on and on. What the hell are these so-called business schools and MBA programs teaching!?

  • Marked this video 'LIKE', (for quality) but watched it in horror. Now live in SC, but spent 3+yrs in Ro-cha-cha. Enjoyed the people, history, lake. Worked at Kodak Park 'on contract'. Never been given a map of a plant B4 !!! I remember a notice @ the front gate...17,000 laid off. A tragedy. Ref: joeyoyo's comment; we worked in China in 2001. Young adults so positive; v different to US. Trivia... India & China each have more colleges than USA . Inevitable, huh?

  • "sighs" I wish they could do that with my school :(

  • That's what happens when you hold an overeaters anonymous convention off the ground floor...

  • The bird was on the light pole in the middle foreground.

  • Is this in Hemel Hempstead?

  • My dad used to work at the Canadian branch in the 70's/80's. They had seen the possibilities of digital technology even then but execs didn't think it would be viable. It seems they dropped the ball 30+ years ago. Somewhere, the heads of Kodak can be seen hanging out with the top brass of the american auto industry- captured on Polaroid, no doubt.

  • i live right down the street from this. it still has some of the rubble sitting there. Kodak is nothing but a HUGE parking lot now. Im pretty sure the company is failing because i have talked to many laid off workers, some just got laid off a few months ago. This is two years after the demo.

  • i remember that i live rite on eastman ave front row seats

  • I was there when Building 23 was imploded. What a waste. All they do in Rochester is demolish perfectly good structures or so it seems. Midtown Plaza is now being gutted for demolition. Will everybody cheer when that comes down, too?

  • is it me or does Youtube have problems with their videos??
